tubular skylight
A long cylindrical skylight that reflects sunlight indoors without the heat
gain or loss of an ordinary skylight. Tubular skylights are an excellent
form of alternative lighting that bring diffuse natural light into dark
areas of a home or office. In addition to the free daytime operation, they
may qualify for local tax credits as an energy conservation device. They
cost much less than standard, framed skylights and are generally straightforward
to install. Some tubuluar skylights are available that include either an
incandescent or fluorescent bulb inside the light tube, which is wired to
the wall switch. Others, for use in a bathroom, come with integrated exhaust
system.
